Hi Dewi. Sorry to hear about this. Sounds like maybe a sticking hydraulic valve. Not too sure tbh, maybe the other guys on here will know more. Hope your otherwise okay.

dodgy tps?

do a diagnostic!!

dodgy speed sensor or something along those lines, i dnt know much about the autobox, just do a manual conversion :D

ah i see the diagnostic that looks a good place 2 start i will do that first and report back, cheers guys

I don't mean to bear bad news but I had the same problem.......

 

.......redlines in first until you ease off the gas, then it changes straight into third. Shortly after that 4th went as well - the car was doing 3000rpm at 60mph as it was still in third.

 

Basically my 'box was fecked and needed a full rebuild. Cost me £1200!

 

I thought about a 2nd hand auto box or manual conversion. But in each case I would have spent between (say) £700 and £1500 inclusive of labour for a second hand gearbox of unknown origin so it could have gone wrong again very soon after!

 

At least I have an 18000 mile comprehensive warranty on my rebuild and it is now as good, if not better than new.....
